I don't assume all blacks are petty criminals. However, if you look at how Asians have excelled in life, you have to wonder, what's wrong with Black-America? You have to wonder why most whites and Asians, prefer not to associate with blacks. Is it simply the color, or is it the black-culture? The only way to solve problems within the black community is to be honest and address those issues honestly. You can't use the MF word openly, use dirty, vulgar language, or wear your pants down around your knees and expect anyone to accept that type of behavior. Black leaders such as Al Sharpton, only create racial problems and do nothing to improve the black community. I seriously doubt if anyone to include Eric Holder, has the guts to address problems within in the black community. Blaming it all on Whitey doesn't improve anything.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540510e86bb3f79f66e45582Jeff HallMon, 01 Sep 2014 20:35:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540510e86bb3f79f66e45582

The GI is really part of total compensation for being in the military and putting oneself at incredible risk. People join the military despite the fact that in a war zone it's not unusual to develop PTSD. Soldiers lose limbs and become permanently disabled. They also sometimes die as well. It's compensation for making a large sacrifice. To call any part of the compensation that a soldier gets, 'welfare' is incredibly offensive.
BTW: Would you say that a civil servant or DMV worker who gets educational benefits is on welfare? What about someone who has a job and gets educational benefits from a private employer?
Welfare is something given without working for it. Wages and benefits are given in return for labor. There is a difference.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54008505ecad04861c34bd27actuallyFri, 29 Aug 2014 09:49:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54008505ecad04861c34bd27

That's not really true. We also freak out when a cop follows us and worry about being on the receiving end of their bad day. White privileged is a load of crap, what you mean is RICH privilege.

To the posters above me, please understand the backhanded sarcasm I was using toward the OP.
I enlisted in the Air Force during the late 90's and used the GI Bill myself. It is a great program that helped me complete my first bachelor's and helped me to become a better person and citizen.
In no way do I feel this program is a waste of resources. Nor do I feel that way about other similar programs structured to offer assistance. I understand the value, because I was a beneficiary of it.
However, not everyone sees it that way - and fewer yet are able to recognize all the programs and institutions they have benefited from. Wealthy people especially.
Anyhow, thank you for the post trying to educate me. I can tell it was a sincere effort, and in the end you illustrated my point which is: Taxpayer funded does not automatically equate to a handout or entitlement. They are investments in ourselves to help create a better community. We need more of that investment, not less.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540058676bb3f7e54e0258e2The White TruthFri, 29 Aug 2014 06:39:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540058676bb3f7e54e0258e2

We must realize that rasicim does exist and not just against african americans but towards all kinds of cultures etc. Every individual human but have a conversation with themselves and openly be honest with themselves if they are racists and think and plan out how you will over come it. The entire race thing is very primitive, it seems like we made so much progress on so many fronts as humans but we still behave so silly with something as simple as judging or hating based on a religion or skin color etc. Judge by actions only, each human separate.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5400381469bedd8825a12339JohnHQFri, 29 Aug 2014 04:21:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5400381469bedd8825a12339

He is 100% right. Why is it that negros rarely succeed? Instead of giving my opinion, I will state some facts and third parties opinions:
- Their effort is geared toward getting as many handouts from the government as possible, not on hard, creative work. Have you ever asked yourself why don't we have an affirmative action program for orientals, for example?
- Arnold Toynbee, the greatest historian of the 20th century wrote in his opus The Study of History" that the negro race was the only one among the 21 known major races that has never contributed with something for the advancement of civilization during the 5,000 years of known history.
- If you want to know what negros are capable of, you only have to see what they have done in Africa, a continents where at least half a dozen heads of state have been accused of cannibalism, which is still practiced as well as slavery, and some government officials like the Health Secretary of Congo (NBC Bob Woodruff) said on camara that he agrees with the flogging of some children in an orphanage institution in their country because they were...... "bad wizards".
I remember reading recently in an article a man in Senegal stating that he was sorry that his ancestors were not taken to the US as slaves during the 19th century, as otherwise he would be now living there.
I could go on and on but I think you all get the message......http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540020ffecad04900a8ae0eaalimara whidanFri, 29 Aug 2014 02:43:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/540020ffecad04900a8ae0ea
It has to be both black people have to stop being targeted by the white police officer. For example whites and blacks use marijuana at the same rate, but you guessed it black people are stopped, charged, convicted, and sentenced at much greater/ harsher rates. The same thing goes for the death penalty. Ego for everything in between. Once this black people stop being targeted then the black community has no excuses to but to step up.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54000ef86bb3f79c26e05bdbjamesxxxxxxxFri, 29 Aug 2014 01:26:16 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/54000ef86bb3f79c26e05bdb

The only people who believe the GI bill is a handout have never served. The G.I. bill is part of your enlistment CONTRACT, you don’t have it given to you, it’s earned upon completion of your end of the contact.
2014 pay rates for junior enlisted you make 1805 a month base pay and bah for where I served 1395 (if you have a family) and 100 a month for sea pay. As junior enlisted you generally are working 12 hours a day 6 days a week –when you are deployed it is at least 14 hour days 7 days a week.
So adding it all up you are making 3300 a month (1905 if you are single). Working 98 hour weeks during deployments and 72 hour weeks when not deployed. This doesn’t account for the times when due to drills or actual incidents you don’t get to sleep for 36 or more hours. So on deployment a married guy is pulling in $7.77 an hour. A single guy is pulling in $4.48 an hour on deployment. The G.I. bill is a part of any serviceman’s compensation and EVERY PENNY of it is EARNED. If you call it a “handout” simply because it is tax payer funded then technically every cent any serviceman earns is a “handout” as their salaries are of course funded by the tax payer.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffd99b69beddb70ef17789not a handout - you have to earn itThu, 28 Aug 2014 21:38:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffd99b69beddb70ef17789
The GI bill is part of your compensation for enlistment - like your pay or an enlistment bonus. You don't just get GIVEN a GI bill, it is something you earn for your time in the service and only receive if you fulfill your enlistment contract honorably.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffd762ecad0420608ae0eachairborneThu, 28 Aug 2014 21:29:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffd762ecad0420608ae0ea
Actually,Black Race Privilege is the rule in American Law via the racist Affirmative Action Laws. White privilege is minor by comparison.
There is Black Race Privilege via the racist Affirmative Action Laws in hiring, firing, college admissions and govt contracts but also in criminal law with Eric"my people" Holder openly stating at hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee in June of 2009 that federal hate crime laws DO NOT cover white Americans who are violently attacked because of their race. Only whites who are violently attacked because of they are gay or Jewish are covered. But not if they are attacked because of their race.
Since then racist black thugs, hearing Holders dog whistle, have increased their violence against whites with hundreds and hundreds of unprovoked "knock out" attacks on public streets, parks, transport, schools, etc etc Also in murders, hate rapes, and home invasions, while Holder turns a blind eye to black on white hate crimes as he said he would. All the while the Corrupt Liberal Media refuses to connect the dots, spins it away, censors it, or denies it is even happening.
Another example of Black Race Privliege is seen in the double standard of Jamie Foxx gloating over his role in the movie, Django Unchained, on national TV where he "Gets to kill ALL the white people" How great is that? How black is that? Foxx whose Hollywood career didnt suffer a bit for this hate speech is slated to play Martin Luther King in an upcoming movie. Compare this to Paula Dean who became an immediate outcast with her career crashing down when she admitted that yes she had used the N word 30 years ago to describe a black thug who put a pistol to her head in a bank robbery!
Black Race Privilege is pervasive in our society, They benefit from the huge double standard on race, the racist Affirmative Action Laws, the racist Obama/Holder administration. And that is just the short list.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffd6ae6bb3f78449e05be0TherealgregThu, 28 Aug 2014 21:26:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffd6ae6bb3f78449e05be0
He's at least half right.
Some white people discriminate against black people and some black people discriminate against white people. On average white people have more money and power so this has a bigger negative effect on black people ON AVERAGE (tell the white guy in a mostly black neighborhood getting his ass kicked for being a cracker in the wrong place about his power).
But whether or not there is "white privilege", any improvement,to the lot of the black community will come from the black community not from some great white savior. Don't believe the myth that civil rights were granted to blacks by whites. Civil rights happened when black people as a group stood and and decided they weren't having it any more.
Now that the overt systemic repression was successfully destroyed by decisive and unified action by people in the black community the next battle is more subtle - earning respect. It's the only path forward.
PS. I find Beyonce entirely uplifting and anyone that doesn't put "contribution to the arts and culture" as a big plus on the ledger for black culture is being unfair.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffd56d69beddf866f17782Wrong on the factThu, 28 Aug 2014 21:20:45 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffd56d69beddf866f17782

As long as you are not walking on a public street and attacked without provocation because you are white this is true. Unless the store, restaurant,etc is in a black neighborhood with blacks loitering in the parking lot.this is true.
You can drive anywhere with out the police looking at you with suspicion unless your vehicle is suspected in a crime which is also the case with most blacks stopped by police. Just hope you dont break down or get car jacked in the wrong side of town where you will be targeted because of your skin color.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffd321ecad04d5428ae0ebDebra 7778Thu, 28 Aug 2014 21:10:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffd321ecad04d5428ae0eb

You have an interesting perspective and I agree to a certain point. O'Reilly ALSO has a point and I believe is trying to say 'okay, if it exists, then who can do something to change it?' Obviously it HAS TO emanate from within those communities. It's unrealistic to not take any responsibility.
You cannot argue with the statistics with Asians. They were immigrants with zero privileges who until recently didn't have any money, opportunities, etc. They MADE that happen.
Hispanics, which outnumber blacks, still do not have many privileges, yet do not ever blame anyone for adverse life situations.
What priveledges did Jewish people have after WWII? No one has to tell the Jewish people to 'get over it' because they have learned from it to become self reliant.
Playing victim does work, but only to a point. The black community is at an interesting intersection. They are on the cusp of making their own success, yet can definitely ruin this chance by continuing the pity party.
Basically O'Reilly is saying, as humans, we should not blame anyone but ourselves for our success and our failures. Most people from EVERY race face adversity and challenges. Are you going o blame others or pave your own destiny?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffc875eab8ea4f48f17786Why?Thu, 28 Aug 2014 20:25:25 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffc875eab8ea4f48f17786

I don't disagree with a lot of what Bill said. But I do take issue with assuming people are guilty until proven innocent and blatantly violating their constitutional rights based solely on skin color. Most blacks don't commit crimes. So why should they be treated like criminals? What happened to "personal responsibility". Every man should be accountable for his or her own actions.
Don't assume every black person is a petty criminal. Don't assume every white guy is a child molester, spree killer, or wall street swindler. Judge the individual standing in front of you. Fair enough?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffc6db6bb3f77701e05be8Its not that we white males get special treatmentThu, 28 Aug 2014 20:18:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffc6db6bb3f77701e05be8
It's that nobody singles us out for bad treatment. I can walk into any luxury goods store, bank or restaurant in the world and have every expectation of receiving adequate or better service. I can drive back and forth all over the country and not have to worry about the police looking at me with suspicion. Nobody treats me rudely, ever. It's freaking great.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffc646eab8ead94bf1777eImo being a white male totally rocksThu, 28 Aug 2014 20:16:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffc646eab8ead94bf1777e
Being black is a pain in the ass, being a woman sucks cause you spend your life complaining about stuff, white male is the best thing to be. Nobody follows me around the store, cops are friendly towards me, people can't wait to give me a loan if I ask for one and even if I don't, I get good service at restaurants.

Time marches on. And with it, changing attitudes and perceptions based of the generations who grew up in the 1980's and 1990's. While aging baby boomers and the older generations remember the 50's and 60's segregation, Bull Connor, the freedom marchers etc., those of us who grew up later have had far different experiences. We've seen affirmative action, quotas, targeted college scholarships and now diversity programs in the workplace. As time has marched on, it's becoming increasingly difficult to convince anyone under the age of 50 that discrimination in rampant in society and deserves remediation.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffbbe169beddbc5cf1777fTheKenBryanThu, 28 Aug 2014 19:31:45 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffbbe169beddbc5cf1777f
The GI Bill? You mean the same one that when it was enacted CREATED the middle class? Except for, ya know...black ppl? cause even though they were "fighting for their country", coming home maimed, some coming home dead and those that made it back, just wanting to be free in their homeland, yet denied even access to what the ____ soldiers had? That blank? Guess what word's supposed to be there...Yeah...no such thing as "White Privilege" my ass. Read a book and stfu.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffba256bb3f70057e05bdaTheKenBryanThu, 28 Aug 2014 19:24:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffba256bb3f70057e05bda
This is ridiculous and proof in and of itself of the pomposity of paternalisitc white supremacy that ppl like O'reilly want to see continue.
O'Reilly...methinks he needs to study history and harken back to a time when signs were openly hung saying "No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish" and then read "How the Irish became White".
That's the problem, he denies "White privilege" yet benefits from it and doesn't even know.
That thing where all Donald Sterling did was change his last name in order to be "Accepted"? That's White Privilege. His reason for changing it? "It would be financially advantageous"...look it up, then consider how many black ppl don't have that simple solution. That's white privilege. idiot.
As for Asians? Look at 1st generation Caribbean immigrants who also tend to do better than "Black Americans". Then also look at the Asians who "willingly" came here, their financial situation and look up "the model minority".
I hate when stupid ppl or willfully ignorant ppl are given a platform to spout their idiocy.
And FINALLY, this myth about "absentee" black fathers...our "fathers" though not married to the mothers actually are "more present" than any other ethnicity. Look it up too.
And since some of you want to talk about "inner city communities"...google block busting and redlining. You ppl have ZERO knowledge of the very recent past and want to sit here in judgement...because you have the PRIVILEGE of not having to understand any of this. Yeah...no such thing as "white privilege" my ass.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffb58669bedddc3cf1777fwashoeThu, 28 Aug 2014 19:04:38 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffb58669bedddc3cf1777f
Bill would never have to worry about being stopped and frisked because his race isn't associated with a disproportionately higher rate of crime. It's a luxury that certain races enjoy when they aren't better known for being scumbags. PANTS UP! DONT LOOT!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffb4766bb3f74743e05bd8none123Thu, 28 Aug 2014 19:00:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffb4766bb3f74743e05bd8
In case you didn't realize it, the GI Bill is a taxpayer funded handout.
You fucking mooch.

I don't think you actually understand what "White Privilege" is. It's not about how hard you work and whether or not you have earned the things you have. White privilege is the the subtle effect of the remnants of racism. It's the way a black man is treated differently in many situations simply because of the color of his skin. It's the way that Justin Bieber can dress and behave as badly as he wants but he still won't be labeled a "thug" or a "gangster" (If Bieber were black, would his situation still be the same?). It's the way a black kid gets eyeballed by a storekeeper like he's trying to steal something even though the shopkeeper has no indication the kid could be a thief other than the color of his skin. It's the fact that after 9/11 suddenly all arabs could be "potential terrorists" (If the attackers had been white, would we have labeled white people as "potential terrorists"?). It's the way that white people can basically steal any other race's culture (AKA cultural appropriation) and it will be considered ok by other white people. It's the way black men were stopped and frisked in new york at an absurdly different rate than white men (Why? because they were black...). It's the way white people think it's ok to tell black people to "get over" slavery (would you tell a Jewish person to get over the Holocaust?).
Sadly, the true form of White Privilege is the fact the people who benefit from it don't even have a clue that they are benefiting from it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffadb6ecad044d2a8ae105MrPeabodyThu, 28 Aug 2014 18:31:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffadb6ecad044d2a8ae105

I earned everything I have, I earned my grades in school, I joined the military and earned my G.I. bill to go to college, I then earned my civilian job and that earns me my salary. I don't take handouts I never got extra points on exams for being a minority. I don't get food stamps or welfare and I pay my taxes. I have earned EVERYTHING I have in life and none of it had to do with the color of my skin. How about showing some personal responsibility for your lot in life. Last I checked my kids go to the same school as my Latino and Black neighbors and get the same damn education and have the same opportunities.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa820eab8ea5050f1777enathanexplosionThu, 28 Aug 2014 18:07:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa820eab8ea5050f1777e
And another whitey who loves his privilege and doesn't want to see it end!
I love my privilege too. :)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa7cdecad04b8208ae0eanathanexplosionThu, 28 Aug 2014 18:06:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa7cdecad04b8208ae0ea
Oh look!!! A white person agreeing with another white person that they don't get any special treatment! How expected.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa788eab8ea994bf1777fnathanexplosionThu, 28 Aug 2014 18:04:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa788eab8ea994bf1777f
Bill'O is simply an old white guy who would have fought against interracial marriage had he been giving opinions back in the 50's/60's, so of course he doesn't see his privilege.
I would pay to see Bill get randomly stopped and frisked on the streets of NY a handful of times over a few days and then see what he has to say.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa71969beddea5ef17794DMThu, 28 Aug 2014 18:03:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa71969beddea5ef17794
Nobody cares. Fixing african american inner-city communities is only going to happen with leadership from within those communities. White conservatives won't solve those problems by advising black people principles and values that made them successful, and white liberals won't solve black's problems through social engineering, welfare state policies, and "victim status" pandering.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa6c6eab8ea6d3ff177aaFlash BoyThu, 28 Aug 2014 18:01:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa6c6eab8ea6d3ff177aa
Bill, what about the war on women? Is that another of these demrat myths? And, blaming the Koch brothers while the Seyer -Soros-Bloomburg- Buffett brothers are the leading $$$money boys. Bill, do they talk raising taxes on corporations while cutting taxes for Hollywood? Bill, isn't almost everything about these left wingers phoney?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa6c4ecad04960f8ae104Truth hurtsThu, 28 Aug 2014 18:01:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53ffa6c4ecad04960f8ae104
I'm no big fan of O'Reilly, but he's right. The longer minorities cry about perceived or real discrimination, the longer they will be stuck right where they are. While they are crying, others are working and making real sacrifices to get ahead and provide for their families.
News flash: most people have to work hard and long for what they have...
